Ability to copy view configurations (filters, field order) across existing views

Airtable had this thing where I could copy field order or filters from another view, and that's super helpful when I need to update multiple views."
reasoning:
Users with multiple views in a solution often need to apply the same configurations (filter logic, field order, sorting).
The ability to copy settings from one view to another would save time and improve consistency.

Hey Jacob Feldman, thanks for your feedback! Following up on this:
- How frequently do you need to copy view configurations across different views?
- Are there specific types of views or configurations where this feature would be most beneficial?
- Would you prefer this feature to be available for all users or restricted to certain user roles?

Jon Darbyshire Hi Jon
It's a not infrequent event. I iterate views a lot. For example, the below screenshot shows all the views I have for one group of faculty we work with (yes, all shared - investigating a dashboard replacement, haven't had a chance yet). I have to do this two times for this group of faculty...and they're not all even showing on the screenshot. I also need to do something similar for teammates (everyone has their own view, for a team of about 20). So, when I need to add/remove a single field from a view, I have to do it 30+ times without the option to copy.
Specific value would be the ability to copy: visible fields, field order, and filters between views within the same table.
Solution creators and Admins should have this ability, but no feasible use for lower permission levels.
Let me know if I can tell you more.
